Bush Telegraph SMS Alerts Sign Up

Free local and reliable information for people living in the Bellingen Shire and surrounding areas

• SMS alerts based on Bellingen Shire Council communiques or information from agencies like the SES.
• The Bush Telegraph should not be relied upon as the sole source of information.
• For emergency information listen to Coffs Coast ABC - 92.30 FM, download the Hazards Near Me app and go to the Bellingen Council website. 
• The Bush Telegraph doesn't replace these important sources. We pass on reliable information from these official channels by text to people who want them.
• This free community service is run by volunteers from the Neighbourhood Care Network. 
• Your data is kept secure. We won't share your personal information with any other organisations.
• The Bush Telegraph is powered by regular community fundraising campaigns and the Urunga Lions who help with our monthly costs. Thanks to all who have contributed.

If you sign up before 6 pm on Thursday 6 March we can guarantee you will be on the updated SMS list.

For later registrations we will update the list as soon as we can. This might be delayed due to power outages and because we are volunteers managing our own situations. 

Neighbourhood Care Network - Who We Are

We are a committed group of volunteers from the Bellingen Shire and Blicks community on the Dorrigo Plateau.
